“…The student-athletes in this study presented high levels of CAR, demonstrating feelings of trust, respect, intention to continue in the relationship and cooperation with their coaches. Such findings reveal a favorable group environment for PYD (MacDonald et al, 2020;Newman et al, 2020). The continued preparation of these teams and the intention of maintaining CAR and team cohesion may result in positive sporting experiences that could reduce dropout in sport (Contreira et al, 2020;Nascimento Junior et al, 2019a).…”

“…Studies regarding the positive youth development (PYD) highlight that the coaches contribute to the well-being of athletes, considering that the social environment favors positive thoughts as well as overcoming negative thoughts (Gaion et al, 2020;MacDonald et al, 2020;Newman et al, 2020). Thus, the coach can provide sports teams with a psychosocial environment that favors the maximum performance of athletes, optimizing the development of their physical, technical, and tactical skills (Contreira et al, 2020;Contreira et al, 2019;Jowett, 2017).…”

The relationship between coach and athlete has been identified as a key factor for several positive outcomes in the sports context. Thus, the aims of this study were to analyze the association between the quality of the coach-athlete relationship (CAR) and the perception of team cohesion of youth athletes. Participants were 301 athletes, aged 15 to 17 years, who participated in the School Games of Pernambuco, Brazil. The instruments used were the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) and the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ). Data analysis was conducted through the Structural Equation Modeling (p< .05) with team cohesion, explaining 25% of the variance of task cohesion and 15% of social cohesion. Specifically, the effect of CAR on task (β = 0.50) and social (β = 0.39) cohesion was significant (p<.05) and positive. It was concluded that the quality of CAR is a key factor for the engagement of the adolescent with the teamwork and its goals as well as for the development of positive interpersonal relationships. ><.05) and positive.

“…En su capacidad para identificar y enseñar valores y comportamientos deseables, los valores que poseen los entrenadores pueden y deben marcar, guiar y cambiar los comportamientos y valores de los jóvenes deportistas (Cerrada, Navarro; Abad y Giménez, 2020; Koh et al, 2017;Newman et al, 2020). Si el entrenador motiva o fomenta el juego en grupo entre otros favoreciendo un entorno más autónomo y con menor presión en el grupo (Castillo, Adel y Alvarez, 2019), comienza a mostrar que se puede aprender a través del deporte, para facilitar la adquisición de recursos y el ajuste psicosocial en contextos deportivos (Morales-Sánchez et al, 2020).…”

Cada vez hay más pruebas de la relación entre la práctica deportiva y la transmisión de valores a una edad temprana, pero se desconoce el efecto especifico de los entrenadores y sus propios valores sobre el desarrollo de estos en los deportistas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar la influencia de los valores que los entrenadores consideran importantes, sobre el razonamiento prosocial de jóvenes deportistas. Se empleó un diseño transversal explicativo multigrupo sobre una muestra de 318 jóvenes deportistas con edades comprendidas entre 8 y 17 años (Medad = 11.89; DT = 2.18), de los cuales 221 fueron chicos (68.8%) y sus entrenadores (n= 38), con edades comprendidas entre 19 y 35 años (Medad = 28.4; DT = 6.62). Los resultados revelan que los entrenadores ejercen un efecto significativo en los niveles de razonamiento prosocial de los jóvenes deportistas. Además se demostró el efecto positivo que tienen sobre el razonamiento prosocial los valores del entrenador relacionados con respeto a lo acordado, cuidar la imagen pública y la tolerancia en contraposición del efecto negativo que tienen los valores del entrenador relacionados con concordia, disfrute, juego, logro y victoria. La discusión se centra en la utilidad de los hallazgos para la mejora de las interacciones entre entrenadores y jóvenes deportistas dónde se puedan aunar el desarrollo conjunto de competitividad y formación en valores. There is increasing evidence of the relationship between sports practice and the transmission of values at an early age, but the specific effect of coaches and their own values on the development of these values in athletes is unknown. The objective of this study was to identify the influence of values coaches consider important on the prosocial reasoning of young athletes. A cross-sectional, multi-group explanatory design was used on a sample of 318 young athletes between the ages of 8 and 17 (MAge = 11.89; SD = 2.18), of whom 221 were male (68.8%) and their coaches (n= 38), aged between 19 and 35 (MAge = 28.4; SD = 6.62). Results reveal that coaches exercise a significant effect on the levels of prosocial reasoning of young athletes. Positive effect on prosocial reasoning of coaches' values related to respect for agreements, public image, and tolerance was demonstrated in contrast to the negative effect of coaches' values related to agreement, enjoyment, play, achievement, and victory. Discussion focuses on the usefulness of the findings for improving interactions between coaches and young athletes where joint development of competitiveness and value formation can be brought together.

Numa amostra de 318 jovens atletas entre os 8 e os 17 anos de idade (Idade M = 11,89; SD = 2,18), dos quais 221 eram rapazes (68,8%) e os seus treinadores (n= 38), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 35 anos (Idade M = 28,4; SD = 6,62), foi utilizado um desenho explicativo transversal e multigrupos. Os resultados revelam que os treinadores têm um efeito significativo sobre os níveis de raciocínio prosocial dos jovens atletas. O efeito positivo no raciocínio prosocial dos valores dos treinadores relacionados com o respeito por acordos, imagem pública e tolerância foi demonstrado em contraste com o efeito negativo dos valores dos treinadores relacionados com acordo, gozo, jogo, realização e vitória. A discussão centra-se na utilidade dos resultados para melhorar as interacções entre treinadores e jovens atletas, onde o desenvolvimento conjunto da competitividade e a formação de valores podem ser reunidos.

Youth sport coaches play an important role in shaping the sport experience and positive development of youth athletes. One salient approach to examining how the interpersonal behaviours of coaches influence young athletes has been through the lens of leadership theories. However, there is limited understanding surrounding the underlying processes associated with coach leadership behaviours, such as how and why behaviours are applied. This study sought to examine why do youth sport coaches use specific leadership behaviours and what are their intended outcomes when using these behaviours? Eleven coaches ( Mage = 42.3, SD = 14.5) were recruited from competitive youth soccer and volleyball clubs (athletes’ Mage = 15.8, SD = 1.9). Coaches participated in a video-stimulated recall interview, during which coaches reflected upon their own coaching behaviours and provided insight into the application of leadership behaviours in youth sport. Findings of the study revealed that contrasting leadership behaviours (e.g. transformational vs. transactional) are associated with distinctive coach objectives (promoting confidence vs. establishing respect). This study can serve to facilitate knowledge mobilization by strengthening our understanding of coaches’ intentions for the implementation of leadership behaviours in a real-world setting.
